Artemix

My old workplace uses that for their entire staff, and I use the personal 5€/month plan, with no complaint.

I almost constantly listen to music. When I do so, I only use cmus nowadays.

Awesome lightweight music player

I wish it'd be less bloated, the web-app is quite heavy

That doesn't make it any more acceptable.

And this is not simply a social network, but a work-oriented one.

One of my favourite pages is the page on the Emu War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

Static websites are the way to go, and as for hosting, I personally find Netlify to be awesome, and well fit for static websites (my blog is built with a custom SSG, run by Netlify on every commit).

You can simply use git for versioning, FrontMatter for article metadata (like title, published status etc.), reStructuredText or Markdown for writeup, and whichever tool you may see fit.

If you don't want to build your own, Hexo, Hugo or Jekyll are well-known, but if you want something a bit more "fit" for you, I'd recommend checking out Metalsmith.

As for the website hosting, you have a lot of available options due to the simplicity of hosting some dumb HTML pages and medias.

- Git hosts, like Github, Gitlab (my favourite), Bitbucket

- Netlify, Surge

- Some shared web hosting, like the base offers at OVH: When you buy a domain name, you have, for free, 10MB of space for a shared web hosting, which can easily serve HTML files. Buy a .xyz domain for less than 3€/year and have free hosting.

I'd finally access Internet, and ditch my awful 50kBps internet speed I'm getting from cable, and unstable 4G from mobile

I don't think of it as offensive. It's an anatomy part, why would someone be offended by their body? Imho, don't change it, because there's no reason for such an action

For systemd-based os, I use systemd, and for others, I use supervisord.

A good, and well-known, alternative market is F-Droid, which only contains FOSS apps.

This can be a good starting point

You have some services made to support creators, like "Buy me a coffee" or Patreon

I use kickstart to manage my templates, including projects (https://github.com/Keats/kickstart/)

HN, Lobsters, and a lot of independent blogs, all through my ttrss instance.

Adding to that, I also take a look at its dependencies: is it using half the NPM registry (or other central package registry) ?

That's the problem with hosting content on a not-owned platform.

You may've done nothing wrong, but since it's theirs, they can pretty much do whatever they want, including censorship or shadow-ban.

I think the best procedure would be to host your blogging content on a private platform and only link and advertise the new articles on several platforms, like your google group.

I think so, following this logic:

You have a FOSS tool that's awesome to work with. By yourself, you can take the time to set it up and learn how to maintain and use it. It's actually the case most of the time.

If this tool is interesting/useful enough to attract companies, they don't always have or want to have a service/person to set up, configure, maintain and debug this tool.

In that sense, companies making the FOSS tool can sell active support, maintenance and hosting, and I think it's perfectly fair here.

We use Discord.

While branded as a "chat for gamers", the screen sharing, sound, conference and channels quality and tooling is far more versatile and superior to Slack.

I use both Gitlab snippets and a repository with a mkdocs website.

I have two of them, a "huge" transport model that I use for quality video recording, and a very small one (that I'm pretty much still building) with a fast but low-qual. FPV camera, which I input the feed on my computer with a special receiver.

The biggest problem I find with that is if the template/tool gets some deprecated/critically flawed dependencies, for tweaking it can be ignored but not for production or critical systems.

Also taking the time to set up your project with what's just needed will allow to dodge a lot of bullets of breaking or useless dependencies, malicious dependency update tc.

I'd never trust my own code, as safe as it can be.

Mistakes and crashes happens, and I'd prefer to always be ready to handle and fix stuff instead of trusting that my own code would perfectly work.

The LaTeX document format is pretty well fit for the use case (it's kinda been made in that sense).

If it's "too complex", you may be interested in reStructuredText, a stricter and more complete alternative to Markdown, that auto-converts well into LaTeX.

At work, we almost never do one-on-one meetings for /work/.

We do it in case there's some personal issues like work anxiety, stress etc. and helped a lot of people where I work at.

Such meetings are not "you'll be better"-logic, but rather bluntly putting everything on the table and discussing about every issue and how to handle it.

I'm gonna talk about your tool at work anyways, see what we can find useful in it, and I'll try to get back to give you a feedback if I can get something.

To this point, since I made this app as a personal tool, I only targeted Android.

If there's any way in which I could make the app available on some other systems, it'd be nice to do so.

Which systems do you have in mind ?

I use Alpine Linux.

A minimalistic and stable distro with up-to-date packages. I only regret the lack of SystemD, replaced by a system that I don't fully understand yet, but hey, learning.

For my part, for an android app called PixDroid, the reason is the following:

- Don't have a macbook and neither want to spend 2k buying one nor want to spend the overpriced 100$/y licence - I like using Java and Kotlin, and since it's the de-facto standard for Android, which is the platform I want to target, it's just perfect.

Didn't know about this one, but there's another one I personally use, which is https://edavis.github.io/hnrss/

I hosted my VPSs on Scaleway but moved away from them after a lot of trouble and shady stuff.

Now, I exclusively host my infrastructures on:

- OVH

- PulseHeberg.

I can provide you the following opml extract of my RSS feed reader.

Most are custom blogs, I also source from HN, Lobste.rs, a french news feed (Developpez) and dev.to, and I also shamelessly provide my own blog under the category "Artemix".

You can import what you want from it.
